Jone Hopper - Le grand modèle

Born in 1977, Jone Hopper is a French artist. In the late 1980s, he sharpens his skills on the street through an emerging movement of the time: graffiti. He tags his name on the street, on walls and on trains. Known for his characters and his aerosol signatures, he creates the collective TBS (The Brutal Style) with Skepa and a few other committed graffiti artists. We know little about him because the artist stays faithful to the spirit of graffiti and wishes to remain anonymous, believing that it is the artwork that should be highlighted, not the person. Absent from social networks, absent from openings, a faceless artist, he remains a real mystery except for a few gallery owners in confidence. He compares his painting to a hip-hop track, drawing from Basquiat, Keith Haring, Picasso, Matisse, Andy Warhol, or even Bacon; he draws from all art movements, from Modern to Contemporary while passing through Classical, acting like a sampler... sampling, cutting, assembling, and thus creating new images.
